AI Article Synopsis
- A 70-year-old male patient with a GEM III DR 7275 Cardioverter Defibrillator experienced inappropriate shocks despite having slow ventricular tachycardia (VT).
- The device was set to identify VT over 100 bpm, fast VT (FVT) over 150 bpm, and ventricular fibrillation (VF) over 188 bpm.
- After detecting FVT and delivering effective therapy, the patient received several inappropriate shocks, prompting a discussion on device programming features to address this issue.
Article Abstract
We report on a 70-year-old male patient who was recipient of GEM III DR 7275 Cardioverter Defibrillator, and who presented with inappropriate shocks. The patient had a documented slow ventricular tachycardia (VT), and the device was programmed to detect VT at rates >100 bpm, fast VT (FVT, via VT) at rates >150 bpm, and ventricular fibrillation (VF) at rates >188 bpm. After detection of FVT, efficient therapy was delivered; however, this was immediately followed by multiple inappropriate therapies. Inappropriate therapies were discussed, with a focus on programming features.
